Notice of public meeting.
Summary
FMCSA announces a public meeting concerning a National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). If established, the NRCME would be a database of medical examiners certified by FMCSA (or a third party) to conduct medical examinations of interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and effectively determine their physical qualifications to operate such vehicles in interstate commerce as defined in 49 CFR 391.41. If the NRCME is implemented, the FMCSA would only accept medical examinations conducted by persons listed in the NRCME as proof of the physical qualifications standards for interstate CMV drivers. The meeting is intended to provide a general introduction to the NRCME concept and an opportunity for discussion with subject matter experts.
